coredump: format_corename: don't append .%pid if multi-threaded
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If the coredumping is multi-threaded, format_corename() appends .%pid to
the corename.  This was needed before the proper multi-thread core dump
support, now all the threads in the mm go into a single unified core file.

Remove this special case, it is not even documented and we have "%p"
and core_uses_pid.
